beep boop, etc

Knuckle tattoo that says %APP DATA

Sorry I’m late I was touching soft moss on a stone wall

youre gonna love this bro. its called settings

Computer loves to be like "fuck! You sure you want to shut down? Youve got volume mixer open"

i was born in the downloads folder all alone with only a readme file to my name

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.

stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.

bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.

I used to love take me to a useless website

do y’all remember usernames??? from back when every fuckin website didn’t need your email phone number home address social security number just to join/sign up for something?? when you could make website-specific accounts that weren’t linked to literally anything else??? they tried to boil us like a frog slowly switching to “username/email” and then just asking for your email. but I remember. I remember usernames.

"no you can't control the computer because uh that would be user unfriendly" <- shit they expect us to believe

"The user doesn't know what they are doing, but luckily we are smart and can make all the decisions for them" <- voice of an operating system that kills its own firewall for no reason and doesn't tell anyone for months until you ask it where the firewall is

its kind of fun to uninstall programs you arent using to free up space and see them all beg for their lives

people being rabidly anti-piracy is always so jarring to me i forget that this sentiment exists over and over and i’m always shocked. you no like free movie 😟 ?

it still makes me go insane that somehow no social media site bothers to implement interleaved text and images. Fediverse cannot support it broadly, Bluesky can't handle it, Facebook can't do it, Twitter can't do it, fucking, LinkedIn doesn't do this, somehow only Tumblr has this, and it barely even counts as a popular social media site.

well you see we're the new pdf

i can't overstate how much this used to be the default on blogging platforms. blogging used to involve as much mixed content as you felt like. the goofy defunct french blog platforms (Skyblog, U-blog) where i was making my first posts in 2004 had that. you could embed media or javascript or applets or anything you wanted. the reason this feels like a unique tumblr-only feature now is that rotten as it is tumblr is one of very few remaining blogging platforms in 2026. everything else is microblogging now. everything else is twitter now

Reports say Windows 15 will be "a transparent pane of glass" that will be installed into frames on a wall; Lead developer comments, "finally, we got it right. Somehow we kept making operating systems instead and it was getting really frustrating."
